We spend a large part of our daily lives at a computer, behind the wheel or sitting down. A poor posture habit that seems harmless at first can, over time, lead to serious changes in the spine and to pain.
Which signals should you watch for?
- Persistent pain
- Discomfort that gets worse with movement
- A feeling of stiffness and tension
This pain is not just an inconvenience — it is a serious signal that lowers your quality of life.
Three simple rules for sitting correctly
- Sit upright.
- Don’t stay in the same position for long.
- Move during short breaks.
Remember: sitting correctly means a healthy spine. Small habits make a big difference to your health.
